Ebenezer Has a Word for Everything

(4)
K-3
Illustrated by
Frank Dormer.
Ebenezer collects words but can't find other people who appreciate them. Then one day in the school library he meets fellow kid Fitzgerald, an aspiring storyteller; Fitzgerald's problem is, "I don't have the right words." Bingo! Although new friend Fitzgerald seems to appear out of nowhere, the thickly outlined, rudimentary-style digital illustrations, which have the look of children's art, otherwise keep things real. Glos.
